[Swftools-common] pdf2swf - Converting PDF to bitmap with higher resolution - how?

[Bruno Ferreira]

    Hi!

    First of all, many many many thanks for swftools, and particularly 
pdf2swf. It's an awesome tool.

    Now, to the issue: I've been using pdf2swf to convert PDF files to 
single-page SWF files for flipbooks. For the most part, it's been 
working just fine, but I've come across something. Recently I started 
using the "-s bitmap" option to convert the pages to a single bitmap 
image, which comes quite handy for flipbooks (one can then use the 
original page for the zoomed-in version). However, the bitmap that comes 
out is relatively low-res, and no matter how much I fiddle with the "-s 
dpi", "-s subpixels", and all its other friends, I can never get a 
higher-resolution picture at the same zoom level. I tried using "-s zoom 
200" (200 being a test value), and I did get a zoomed-in version, but 
it's the same bitmap as before, simply enlarged.
    Is there any set of options that will net me a bitmap conversion at 
a specific resolution/size, or at least by a factor of X?

    Oh, by the way: "pdfswf -s" (just like that) will segfault 
(OpenSuSE 11.1, swftools compiled from source). Not important, just 
noteworthy. I think it should present the options for "-s", akin to "-s 
help".

    Thanks, Bruno Ferreira
